2025 Annual Appeal

Maybe you’ve been part of our story from the beginning, maybe you’re a recent partner. Either way, ShoreRivers needs you now.

Like our local waterways, we have persevered through changing tides — changing administrations, changing resources, changing priorities. Through it all, it’s become clear that meaningful partnerships and a dedicated community ensure we can keep cleaning these rivers and creeks.

Your support means we can stay optimistic about the future of our work enacting pro-river legislation; improving environmental literacy of children and adults; restoring underwater grass beds and oyster reefs; addressing land-based pollution in rural, agricultural, and urban areas; planting native trees; and rigorously testing water quality to measure effectiveness of restoration efforts.

ShoreRivers has seen tremendous growth in its first decade and, with your help, we are confident that our next will produce even more significant environmental action and results. Through the quotes, photos, and graphs we selected to highlight in this appeal, you can see how ShoreRivers’ advocacy, education, restoration, and engagement programs impact real people in important quantifiable terms, as well as in vital, intangible ways.
